Witzend
was the first of the independent or “indy”
magazines.Premiering in 1966, it
published 13 issues over almost two decades, most of them between
1966-1971 and provided a welcome link between mainstream comics and the
then-new underground movement.Although
it, at times, suffered from the lack of a strong editorial hand at the helm, it
showcased many important artists of the period and pointed the way for every
self-publishing writer/artist to this day.This bibliography is incomplete so if you can fill in the gaps, please

7) The City In
The Sea [written: Edgar Allan Poe; illustrated: Frank Frazetta] 10p[poem. I don’t know when this art was done but it certainly looks like circa
1971 Frazetta art which would make it Frazetta’s last comic art job.Beautiful work!]

Although not officially an issue of Witzend,
a reprint volume of Wally Wood’s [entitled Woodwork and not to be confused with
the newsletter of the same name] did come out in 1980 and is, in effect, an
issue of Witzend.
